I was super impressed by this place. They have any seafood you want and the prices are great compared to a lot of other places. We got the twin lobsters and they were cooked perfectly. I got the lobster roll and it had so much lobster stuffed in it. The steamers were also clean and great! All the seafood coming out of the kitchen looked so good. I want to go back and try more. You order at the front and then they bring it to you. Not many spots inside but they do have some outside seating as well. Great spot! read more

Being from California, was expecting to be wowed by the seafood in Maine. We ordered the lobster roll, fried clam strips and fried calamari with some clam chowder. The clam chowder was delicious, the calamari and fried clam strips were not like anything we have ever had anywhere! We did not enjoy the clam strips or calamari. Service was good, but for the price I expected the food to taste better. read more

Wells Beach Lobster Pound - Fresh lobsters every day - Seafood Near Me - Wells, Maine

We came here for some convenient lobster meat for lobster rolls. It's expensive per pound, but the convenience of ready to serve lobster meat in juicy chunks is worth it. A little goes a long way, as it's a pretty light meat. There wasn't much weight, and the staff was very helpful. The fresh lobster made for a delicious lunch. They have a great seafood menu including live lobsters, so there is a lot to offer. read more

A must visit locally owned spot to enjoy a great casual lobster meal and beautiful sunset outside at picnic tables or inside where it's a bit less chilly. My lobster was fresh and tender, service was prompt, my husband loved the haddock bites. The only thing that would be better is homemade tartar sauce with dill (instead of Ken's) and Old Bay Seasoning for the fries. It was also surprisingly clean for being run by teenage boys yet very busy! My 91 yr old mom was grateful for the handicapped access ramp they have as well! read more

We were tipped off to this waterside seafood restaurant by a friend. The lobster pound is across the street from the water. It's very basic- order at a window and the food is brought to your table. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The picnic tables outdoors are lovely. The restaurant is immaculate. The staff were very friendly. The food was off the charts. I visit Maine frequently and am a big seafood fan. The steamers and lobsters were a top 5 experience. The house made potato chips and coleslaw were awesome. The hand made onion rings were very good. The prices were really good for dine in and were an absolute steal for take out. I can't recommend this no frills, lobster in the rough place highly enough. Wish that they didn't use disposable plates and utensils, but that's par for the course. The Well Beach Lobster Pound is the real deal- not to be missed if you're in the area. read more

Went in yesterday for lunch. Got the haddock piece basket; very good. Can't wait to go back. Service was fast and it's a "take out" kinda place but that was fine. Sitting at picnic table overlooking ocean is best ambience I can think of. read more

Great place to get lobster, lobster rolls, steamers and more. While it has changed over the years, this is still a good place to get great Maine seafood. I was told by some folks that Hannaford's supermarket has better prices on steamers, but it's nice to sit outside and look at the ocean. There is also some inside seating if the weather isn't good. Ambiance is pretty basic, but functional, as this is not a place where you dine for hours. We got ours togo once and once we ate in. We got steamers here twice that were great, as was the lobster roll. I did not care for the clam chowder, but I am picky. It is fine, but tastes like the generic Sysco kind of chowder. If you go to Barnacle Billy's at Perkins cover and try their clam chowder, you will see and taste the difference. Service was friendly and we only had to wait a little while, as there was a large party in front of us who all ordered steamers so we had to wait for those. Overall a solid choice and a classic place to stop in the Wells area. read more

This is a MUST - the food is so fresh and it's a family business and they are there working. We went back again the next day for take out and again, a home run. The view is amazing while you wait and you can eat indoors or outside, I wish this family 100 yrs of success. Their kindness and friendly attitude adds to the amazing food. read more

Lobster Pound is the best restaurant that I have ever been to. It is in the heart of Wells Maine, and serves the best seafood that I have ever had. It serves seafood, regular food such as burgers, fries, chicken nuggets, sometimes hotdogs, and other things that you would see at a normal restaurant. It serves lobster, clam chowder, and other seafood items. Another thing that you can get there is ice cream. One of the best things that you can get there are some of the sides. It serves a variety of drinks such as soda, beers, wine, and kids drinks for the littles to have. The restaurant is outside right near the ocean. So you have a great view of the ocean if you choose to sit outside. There is also inside seating for people that would like to sit inside, or if it is cold outside then you can sit inside. There are flowers outside and inside. For the seats outside there are umbrellas that you can put up or put down. The building looks like a little home with two stories. The only negative thing about the place is sometimes the light in the bathroom flickers and it goes out. The people that run the place are most likely going to be there. They have really nice waiters that are willing to fix mistakes that they may have made in your meal. They all work together to keep the business up and running without you having to wait a long time to get your food. That is because they know that you would like your food at a not a ton of wait time. I think that one of the reasons that it comes early to you is because they have all of the seafood and food ready to be cooked or served to somebody. It is also nice because all of your food will most likely come on a tray. That means that you can sit down at the table you would like, and then when the food is ready they will call your name and bring it to you. The quality of the lobster pound food would be a 9. That is because you may not like all of the ice cream flavors because it is very limited. But the quality of the actual food would be a 10 because it always comes out how you would like it. And if it doesn't then they will make it again so that it fits your needs. I would recommend this to a family because there is all kinds of food. Such as kids meals, food for all ages, and food for some adults. If you are going there with a big family and you are worried that the price will be high, there is no need. The prices are excellent and I would say that some of the food is very under priced for what it is. GREAT RESTAURANT OVERALL!!! -Miles Robertson read more

Love the food. You can get steamed or fried seafood but lobster was great. Prices are pretty reasonable. Not much of an atmosphere, but the people were very friendly. We'd go again read more

Please adjust your hours online for out of state visitors. Online says 8:30, but when we showed up at 7:35, person behind the register said you were closed. No problem. Next time we're in town, we'll call ahead and plan accordingly. Place was busy so has to be good. read more

My favorite place to get lobster in Wells. Fresh and good prices. I get them cooked and cracked so I can easily use them for lobster rolls and pasta dishes while I'm in the area for the week. When headed home, they cook and pack them up- still warm when I get back to Boston. Friendly, knowledgeable employees. I get these to go but they have some great indoor and outdoor space for casual dining- and a parking lot. Great water views. Seafood and ice cream on the menu. read more

Food is delicious, best lobster. Best fried whole belly clams and the best clam chowder. First place we go to when we come to Ogunquit every year. The owners Troy and his wife are service oriented , and have a great staff of young men. read more

Food was really good, pricey, but the service overall was good as well. It's a nice restaurant and the atmosphere is lovely.

It's been months but it was perfect! Prices and portions and food all good. It was a beachside restaurant, very casual. Counter service but quick friendly. read more

Fresh, fast and delicious. Came here on vacation and got 4 medium lobsters for each of us and a pound of steamers. They cooked it all for us right there so all we had to do was come back to our Air bnb and enjoy! They also thoroughly answered our questions, as we were unfamiliar with the process. The lobsters were sweet and tender, and each lobster was incredibly meaty. The steamers were fantastic as well. The inside of the restaurant itself is very clean and well-kept. If we're ever in the area again, we will have to come back. read more

Amazing soup, the muscles were really nice, can't beat the scenery from the picnic tables.

Fine. Nothing to write home about. A bit pricey. Some austere picnic tables out front. Great view of the ocean. Food was fresh. Service was friendly. I'm writing this more as a note to myself to not bother coming back since I'm now in Wells for the second year and read more

We got the 2 pounders for our dinner. What a treat! Hubby got the stuffed lobster, which was beautifully done. Mine was also steamed to perfection. Neither of us could finish, so lobster for lunch the next day! It's a busy place, but waitstaff was very friendly and efficient. Expect to wait out on their deck for a bit. It's a bit noisy, but the lobster is worth it! read more

Live Lobsters in the tanks, nothing fancy, just GREAT Lobster!!! Stopped with friends who are part time locals, and they know the good places to go! Got an order of Oster's to split and ONE order of Fries, which was enough for all of us to share! read more

What a meal! 2 years ago, on a rainy day, my mom & I stumbled on the Wells Beach Lobster Pound & stepped in for a cup of chowdah. It was so good, that we've drug our entire family back 2 years later to try again and my sakes, it's DELICIOUS! Possibly the best chowdah I've ever had, rich, creamy, well seasoned! We had steamers & a lobster as well, and each bite was delightful. This time, the line was a little longer & the place was packed, but we were happy as clams! read more

Phenomenal restaurant and staff. There is indoor and outdoor seating with the water just feet away from the benches. We were able to order our food, sit down and relax a little bit before the food came out. The wait wasn't very long, but it allowed us to take in the beautiful weather! Clam Chowder was thick and flavorful. Fried whole belly clams are exactly what I was looking for. I hope to come back with the family on another trip to New England just for this restaurant. read more

Got the pick 2 with scallops and haddock subbed in onion rings. Also got a lobster roll. The fried scallops were the stand out favorite. The haddock was also good, and I would both again. The lobster roll was good, but at $30 for served cold with butter, it wasn't as good as others I've had around here. The lobster is wonderful quality and I think I'd try the lobster dinner if I came again. The view from the restaurant was perfect for a car picnic with a sleeping kid in the car. Probably would be 3 stars anywhere else, but the quality of the lobster and the scallops as well as the view are outstanding. read more

The very first thing we did when we arrived in Ogunquit...okay, AFTER finding the house where we'd be staying, watering the dogs, unpacking... was search for lobster rolls. Mid-October, the Lobster Pound closest to us was closed for the season, so we went exploring. Happily, and thanks to Google search, we found the Wells Beach Lobster Pound quoiite easily. In season, this is a restaurant with full menu, dine in and carry out. That day, however, all they had was lobsters...and lobster rolls, the grail we sought. On our way back to the house, we stopped at Spinnaker for fries and cole slaw. And discovered that lobster rolls were $4 more each there. In all, a serendipitous excursion. read more

The "butter" that came with the lobster was some kind of yellow oil. But on the positive side the roll contained lots of lobster

Nice little spot a few minutes drive from the beach areas. I thought that the prices were reasonable, in particular the specials. We got a special of 2 "chick" size lobsters + small coleslaw & small chips for $20. The lobster was really sweet. Also tried the clam strips, which are fried clams. This too was tasty with a nice seafoody flavor. Over ordered though... a pint was way too much for 2 people. Final order was a clam chowder which was nothing special. Staff friendly. It has a fairly large parking lot with curbside ordering options (covid times). read more
